Have you changed your childs school after theyve been there for 2 years? Did they struggle to make new friends ect? Hes only in grade 1. Hes asked to change schools because he gets bullied by a few older kids.. we have spoken to teachers, the parents ect. No changes. They still give him a hard time. He has asked me to move to a different school and I am considering it but im worried things will only be worse at another school. Thoughts?

I went to a horrible school where I was bullied constantly, changed schools and it was MUCH better. Yes bullying happens everywhere but it is worse at some schools and if the school is not doing anything and he's not learning properly because of it I'd move him.
If he's happy otherwise, likes his class, his teacher, has friends, I would go hard to sort it out. Let the school know its still ongoing and he has a right to attend school without being bullied.
If you're on it daily reporting everything and its still not changed by end of year I would consider moving him as I'd consider the schools let him down.
If its an all round bad fit and he's unhappy for more than just this group of bullies, I would cobsider move. Take him to the other school, see the teacher, see what he thinks.
I did after the school did nothing but victim blame my daughter loves her new school and interestingly she has 6 kids in her class from the old school and 2 in the other class for her grade plus a heap more in other grades we went from public to private best thing we ever did
